I colorized, restored, and created an immersive sound design for this rare footage of American cities in the 1930s. This video offers a vivid journey through time, showcasing life in New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Hawaii, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Arizona as it was nearly a century ago.
Video Restoration Process:
FPS boosted to 60 frames per second

Improved video sharpness and brightness
Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)
